"I have not heard of US breweries malting rice. Flaked rice is however used
as an adjuct in mashing to consume excess enzymes (most commonly with pale
malts) which would otherwise go to waste after completing the digestion of
starch from the barley."

The rice used in Budweiser and Michelob starts as whole grain rice. 
"Brewer's Rice" originally was the "brokens" from rice milling, but the
quality effort demands whole grain rice for these products as it is more
reliable.

The disclaimer most put here absolutely does not apply: I work at
Anheuser-Busch and have an awareness of the ingredients used.

Regarding rocotos setting new shoots about this time of year.  The ones in
the east window are showing some growth.  The cuttings downstairs under the
grow light are still small.  One of the plants has a huge pepper on it, but
it is still green.  I am waiting for it to get red for the best flavor.
